Military Pressure To Recruit Is Strong

Some creative methods devised to achieve quotas

By Dane Schiller, Houston Chronicle

Passing out gimme caps, pounding sweltering Wal-Mart parking lots, even stuffing business cards into the pockets of new jeans still on the racks at stores, there is no doubt military recruiters get creative to carry out one of the national defense's most challenging missions: finding new enlistees.

"You had to do what you had to do," recalled Paul Johnson, who said that for three years he was a Navy recruiter in Alvin. "Did it result in stuff? I got a couple of calls."

Suckas!

He was my best friend here in Denver, CO. Sheldon was well known for selling hotdogs throughout our city. He was a great friend, a funny man and always spoke highly of the men and women he served with throughout his military and law enforcement career. Sheldon was helping another when he suddenly felt discomfort in his chest. He laid down to rest and G-d reached down and took him. Many still miss him very much and I just wanted you all to know what a great friend Sheldon was to us all and especially me. Sheldon built hundreds of military aircraft models, he had every Playboy ever published and was loved by more women than anyone can imagine. May He Rest In Peace... 2007-11-05T07:01:30Z 2007-11-05T07:01:30Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2007://1.8275-comment:66103 Comment from J.M. Heinrichs on 2007-11-02 J.M. Heinrichs Newbies! I did a recruiting presentation to a kindergarden class once, (although we weren't looking for FSCC members). Then crossed the hall to visit a freshmen class of 6-year-olds.
